santa barbara

We went to Santa Barbara for the weekend to wine taste. I've never been there before but I want to go back! The downtown area was so cute and I wanted to walk around, but there wasn't enough time. I'll have to make a trip just for that. For wine tasting, we rented a limo for the day, and spent the night in a gorgeous house with all the amenities. We made food at home, and brought picnic lunches. How smart were we?!

Here are my favorite images of the trip... cheers!
